Instructor Regina R. Allen DVM
Regina R. Allen DVM is a veterinarian retired from small animal practice, where she worked with clients and their pets on behavioral problems, in addition to practicing medicine and surgery. Dr. Allen began teaching puppy classes while still in vet school, utilizing gentle, reward-based training techniques. The inspiration for her classes comes from the methods of Karen Pryor, Leslie McDevitt, Susan Garrett, Linda Mecklenburg, Deb Jones, Donna Rohaus, and Jane Killion. Her classes utilized clicker training and shaping with positive reinforcement to teach dogs desirable behaviors and self-control, making owner-dog communications a two-way street. This type of training teaches useful skills both for performance sports and for life. Dr. Allen is a Bronze Medal Certified Dog Trick Instructor, and was a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and a Full Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
